Ignore what I wrote on Friday. There were no bulbs planted this weekend and I blame it on the following:
- 50% weather – we had a ton of rain late Friday into Saturday
- 25% familial obligations – soccer game, kids Oktoberfest events
- 15% smarts – maybe a bit too early for bulb planting here
- 10% wanting to soak in the autumn-ness – time spent smelling the
rosesgrasses
In regards to that last one, I am typically not one to “enjoy the moment” when it comes to my garden. I am either looking towards the future when yet again moving or adding a new plant or hating on my current day plants that are underachieving.
But this weekend I reminded myself that fall is possibly the greatest time of year in the garden, yet it is oh so fleeting. A famous man once said “Better enjoy the crap out of it while is here.”
With that in mind, more autumn photos for your viewing pleasure.

Thanks for sharing some of your 10% with us.
Michaele – you are welcome, although I am now over it and ready to get my hands dirty again.
John, colors on foliage progressing still quite nicely. Always a viewing pleasure!
Thanks Deborah! The colors are literally changing daily, isn’t it the best time of year?
